That's the one.

In all fairness I should reread it. Maybe I was in the wrong place at the time to fully absorb it.

No, that's the impression I got too. He did great work but man was he full of himself.

Oh, and greatest comic evar?

I'm with Balog.

Calvin and Hobbes is, however, a VERY close second.

The two best comic strips ever: Peanuts, and Calvin and Hobbes.

ever see this Lio from a year ago?

C&H was the best ever, Far Side a close second and Peanuts in third.....

K Frame · « **Reply #32 on:** January 08, 2009, 11:55:43 AM »

Second best is Bloom County

Third is Far Side

Fourth is Doonsbury, or however it's spelled.

Fifth was Peanuts.

Honorable mention to Liberty Meadows.

Quote

Few historians know of the heartwarming friendship between French Reformation theologian John Calvin and English political philosopher Thomas Hobbes, the latter of whom may or may not have been real, considering he was not even born yet.

I want this on a shirt.

Doonesbury? Seriously? It's a bit, err... leftist, for my tastes.

It's a LOT leftist. Still doesn't detract from its overal brilliance.

I dont care WHAT you think about C&H, those snowmen ones were brilliant.

I needed that laugh today. Thank you.

My physics professor last semester put a C&H strip on the cover sheet of each exam. He was a terrible teacher, and his exams were horrible, but at least there was a little something fun associated with the class.

one of my english teachers used to make us write 'journal' entrys based on a topic. one was a C&H, with calvin outside at night. "HEY!....screamed the dustspeck."
its been one of my favorites ever since.

I'd have to agree that it's the greatest comic strip ever. Followed by Get Fuzzy and Non Sequitur.

Balog · « **Reply #41 on:** January 08, 2009, 03:33:37 PM »

Far Side, then C&H, then..... not really sure, honestly. Dilbert has some amazing stuff, but a lot that feels churned out too.

I'd have given up parts of my anatomy to sit in on a conversation about the art b/t Charles Schultz and Bill Watterson......it would be like sitting in with Tolkein and Lewis....but with pictures....

Except none of the other three people in that analogy are nearly as much of a pretentious jerk as Waterson.

Edit: oops, forgot where I was. Sorry about that.
